Hallmark Channel picked up Chesapeake Shores to series filming from May 16th to July 20th (dates subject to change) in metro Vancouver.
Steveston isn’t playing Storybrooke today. The Storybrooke Public Library has become the Chesapeake Shores Bank for the pilot movie of an upcoming Hallmark TV series, starring Meghan Ory from Once Upon a Time. Confused yet?
Adapted from Sheryl Woods’s 10-book series, Chesapeake Shores is about the multi-generational Maryland O’Brien family. Abby O’Brien Winter (Meghan Ory), a divorced, mother of twins returns home to the Maryland town her father (Treat William) built after years in a demanding Wall Street job. The charming Inn at Eagle Point that her younger sister Jess (Laci J Mailey) renovated is facing foreclosure. Abby needs to save the Inn, deal with her fractured family and face Trace Riley (Jesse Metcalfe), the man she left 10 years ago. Is Trace a second chance at love? Meghan Ory and Jesse Metcalfe co-starred in Dead Rising: Watchtower.

Chesapeake Shores is filming inside Roccanin Coffee Shop this afternoon and evening until around 8 p.m.
Father and daughter (Treat Williams and Meghan Ory) meet in Rocanni’s as Sally’s Cafe.
Chesapeake Shores will be back tomorrow afternoon for interior scenes at 3551 Moncton Street as the Chesapeake Shores Bank, followed by walk-and-talk scenes on the boardwalk at the fishing docks tomorrow evening until around midnight.
This would make the fourth Hallmark series to film in metro Vancouver and Victoria — the other three are Cedar Cove with Andie MacDowell, When Calls the Heart with Erin Krakow and Signed, Sealed, Delivered with Eric Mabius.
